How to Get Started
Right now only Facebook Horizon authentication is supported but we’re working on getting API key generation back in place. We’re also investigating alternate Horizon authentication via OpenStackID in addition to Facebook. Here’s how to get started:

Testing Purposes Only
Because of the demand for resources, instances and networks are automatically removed after a certain amount of time. Your account will never be deleted unless you are unruly and inconsiderate to your neighbors.

24 hours after creation, instances deleted

12 hours after allocation, floating IP addresses released

12 hours after being set, router gateways cleared

Monitoring and Health
As part of the upgrades and move to a new datacenter and hardware, we’ve added some advanced Nagios checks in place. Besides basic host/service level checks we also do some advanced checks against floating IP addresses, spinning up testing instances testing both SSH and ICMP. Code for this is located here.

Infrastructure Design and Hardware
We’ll be expanding new hardware and switching gear soon, here’s what is running currently:

We’ll be expanding the hardware and switching environment also, stay tuned!
Big thanks to the OpenStack Foundation, Dell, Cisco, Red Hat, and Netapp for their donations of hardware, time and expertise as we continue to grow the environment and community.

Update:
Nicole Martinelli from OpenStack Superuser has written a blog post about the Trystack improvements and upgrades, check it out.
